Paid Family Leave Resources for MomsRising Business Leaders

Statewide Paid Family and Medical Leave will make it possible for small businesses to support their employees when they need to be with family during times of joy and times of hardship. Benefits start in January 2020, but business owners must start contributing payroll premiums in January 2019.

Under Washington's new program, employees at small businesses can take up to 16 weeks of paid family and medical leave. During the leave, employees will receive their paycheck from the state, not their employer. Employers can also receive up to $3,000 in financial assistance when an employee goes on leave to help pay for overtime, re-training, and other costs.

Let us know about your business, and we'll send you resources and updates as Washington implements its best-in-nation Paid Family and Medical Leave program.
